Bahrain - Pied Avocet Tubli Bay Mangrove

Yesterday at Tubli Bay Magroves we saw a Pied Avocet which is a very unusual bird in Bahrain. Brenden said it was only his second record in seven years of birdwatching Bahrain. The bird was a worn adult and always kept to the back of the mangroves and did not allow photographs to be taken of it. Otherwise there were the normal waders present but only three Lesser Sand Plover remained and three Eurasian Teal were also seen. Other good birds included a Cattle Egret and three Palid Harriers in the south of Bahrain at the ringing site at Ras Al Bar.

About The Blog

I hope you enjoy browsing my latest images & notes from the field, the majority are from Dhahran (eastern Saudi Arabia) as well as bird ringing in Bahrain. Most of the photographs are of birds but I will also include other interesting natural history shots when I take them.

About The Photographs

I am an amateur photographer who goes birdwatching and takes the occasional picture with birdwatching being my primary interest. I do birdwatch in an area that has good light for photogrpahy and manage to take quite a few photographs each day.
